ITTY BITTY BITS: Clinton clone; Usher's organic rush; Nelly's Ford Flex; Joe the Plumber at 40/40; Obama's "Huxtable Factor"; Collier shooting suspect.
*Funkmeister George Clinton tells Details magazine that he's storing his DNA so he can be cloned one day. The eccentric musician says cloning has actually been going on for thousands of years. "Cloning - we got generations of that s***," Clinton said. "The pyramids? They was for cloning. That's why embalming lasts so long. Get the DNA and pull 'em back. So somebody been cloned already, but not me. Not yet."
*One shopper in the organic fruit section of Whole Foods at New York's Time Warner Center ran to the New York Daily News to report that Usher was given special treatment and "cut [in front of] about 15 people waiting in the checkout line." The witness continued: "He was whisked to the front to pay in a 'special' line. Everyone was grumbling as he was escorted past."
*The Daily News is also reporting that Ford gave rap star Nelly a custom-made Flex vehicle at his birthday bash in Vegas. "He then headed to dinner at Lavo at the Palazzo, where the Grammy winner blew out 34 candles on a cake in the shape of his new ride," according to the paper.
*TMZ is reporting that Republican mascot Joe the Plumber ended up at Jay-Z's 40/40 Club over the weekend and was greeted by staffers with "open arms and drinks on the house." The rap mogul famously supported Barack Obama, whose tax policy was questioned by Joe during a campaign stop in Toledo. He was quickly adopted by the GOP as a middle class symbol after Obama said his tax plan sought to "spread the wealth around." Born Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, Joe also dropped by the Navy's USS Intrepid and Coyote Ugly during his NY trip.
*Los Angeles Times columnist Greg Braxton spoke to Bill Cosby about the 'Huxtable factor" in the election of Barack Obama. "For all those people who said they didn't know any black people like the Huxtables," quipped Cosby in a phone interview, "all I can say is, 'Will you watch the show now?'" Read entire article here.
*A man charged in the shooting of Jacksonville Jaguars offensive lineman Richard Collier has pleaded not guilty at his arraignment. Tyrone Romaro Hartsfield stood silently as public defender Ann Finnell pleaded not guilty Monday to charges of attempted murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, reports the AP. The 32-year-old Hartsfield is charged with shooting Collier 14 times on Sept. 2. Collier is paralyzed from the waist down and his left leg had to be amputated as a result of the shooting. Hartsfield is being held without bond. A judge set another hearing for Dec. 1.
